John Kent (Randolph Scott), a former star football player at Harvard, goes to Paris with his friend Huck Haines (Fred Astaire) and the latter's dance band, the Wabash Indianians. Alexander Voyda (Luis Alberni) has booked the band, but refuses to let them play when he finds the musicians are not the Indians he expected, but merely from Indiana (Huck Haines and his Indianians Band).
John turns to the only person he knows in Paris for help, his Aunt Minnie (Helen Westley), who owns the fashionable "Roberta" gown shop. While there, he meets her chief assistant (and secretly the head designer), Stephanie (Irene Dunne). John is quickly smitten with her.
Meanwhile, Huck unexpectedly stumbles upon someone he knows very well. "Countess Scharwenka", a temperamental customer at Roberta's, turns out to be his hometown sweetheart Lizzie Gatz (Ginger Rogers). She gets Huck's band an engagement at the nightclub where she is a featured entertainer.
Two things trouble John. One is Ladislaw (Victor Varconi), the handsome Russian deposed prince and doorman who seems too interested in Stephanie. The other is the memory of Sophie (Claire Dodd), the snobbish, conceited girlfriend he left behind after a quarrel over his lack of sophistication and polish.
When Aunt Minnie dies unexpectedly without leaving a will, John inherits the shop. Knowing nothing about women's fashion and that his aunt intended for Stephanie to inherit the business, he persuades Stephanie to remain as his partner. Correspondents flock to hear what a football player has to say about feminine fashions. Huck gives the answers, making a lot of weird statements about the innovations John is planning to introduce.
Sophie arrives in Paris, attracted by John's good fortune. She enters the shop, looking for a dress, but is dissatisfied with everything Stephanie shows her. Huck persuades her to choose a gown that John had ordered discarded as too vulgar. When John sees her in it, they quarrel for the final time.
John reproaches Stephanie for selling Sophie the gown. Terribly hurt, Stephanie quits the shop. With Roberta's putting on a fashion show in a week, Huck takes over the design work, with predictably bad results. When Stephanie sees his awful creations, she is persuaded to return to save Roberta's reputation.
The show is a triumph, helped by the entertaining of Huck, Countess Scharwenka, and the band. (A pre-stardom Lucille Ball, with platinum blond hair, appears uncredited in her first RKO film[4] as a model wearing an elaborate feather cape, after the vocal by Dunne, in the fashion show.[5]) The closing sensation is a gown modeled by Stephanie herself. At the show, John overhears that she and Ladislaw are leaving Paris and mistakenly assumes that they have married. Later, he congratulates her for becoming a princess. When she informs him that Ladislaw is merely her cousin and that the title has been hers since birth, the lovers are reunited. Huck and Lizzie, who decide to get married, do a final tap dance sequel.
壮观可叹（本片和贝尔法斯特都向下发现了HDR风光片的可用之材）
女主神似比诺什 竟然是我想结束这一切的女主 变化好大。看之前我还抱怨今年gasparnoe的电影没得看呢。装修模板备份
真是妙啊。伤痕裸男——女性生育伤害，面具男——厌女男权，神父——劝妓从良道貌岸然的宗教，房东——暴力解决家庭纠纷的男人。隐喻很明显，没有直接恐怖，却让人不寒而栗，心有戚戚
前一小时好过后一小时，最后套娃场面实在是好恶。传递的道理直白到无非是——男人，一切创伤的来源。
邪典片儿，最后无限生殖可以留名影史了。不恐怖，然后看不懂。奇特的是友邻都给了极高评价～感觉女主是在跟男主的pua、道德绑架和强加的内疚作斗争，最后好像是赢了，但是貌似也真有人被杀了？隐喻过多，看完致郁，隔壁的黑色电话不香吗不爽吗？奇特的是友邻们都评价很低。也许到头来大家都喜欢自虐吧～ps：加一颗星给Rory，看完才意识到都是同一个演员演的，NB！
牛逼.........一定要看未删减版，连环分娩的场景我因为来不及躲避一下全程直视，可能会造成一段时间不小的心理阴影了......
恐男隐喻？操作得是不是太直白了。虽然但是，嘉兰的视听还是很棒。
温和但瘆人
这部电影为当下中国性别暴力事件中男人的困惑做了一个太好的解答，为什么作为个体的男人没有实施犯罪，却需要“承担”所谓的无法从all men中豁免的“代价”。和《隐形人》互为补充，一个说的是everywhere，一个说的是everyone。自体繁殖的意象很生猛。结尾那个怀孕女人是想说什么，一种割席对立还是同盟还是悲剧循环？
Cineplex. International Village.
men are like a disease
创意真不错，这个恐怖片并不“吓人”，但是感受到了现实生活中会遇到的恐惧。罗里背诗时分分钟穿越到低俗怪谈hhh
看完这部电影再看男女两极分化的评论，就看得出男女并不是都能共情的，女性对这部电影的恐惧，被男性笑谈为无聊
人体奇观大赏，代代相传的恐惧，生而为男，请你抱歉。PS：男男生子文可代（bushi。
层层包裹、恶性自体增殖的男性性欲最后吐出来一个精心包装试图利用女性同理心和负疚感的“我要你的爱”
加兰总能做到 把饱满强烈的感受用微妙且敏感的方式藏到我的皮肤下面，然后那些感受和情绪，就像植物的嫩芽一样，从皮肤下面钻出来了
如果看之前知道是机械姬的导演，我大概不会打开了。
这电影好用力，用力地想把观众整吐。强行又流于表面的符号化，完全没看到有任何深挖的想法，最后索性把这一堆东扯西扯的符号揉成一团，弄个套娃，再用最cult的方式呈现。视觉冲击有了，女性创伤议题也有了，笑死，完美收尾。
什么是creepy，什么是邪典，这才是。回声配乐也是大亮点。
是想说男人没一个好东西？结果女主角色毫无层次…
